The Three Kingdoms

Sun Yi stood up, with a sharp look in his eyes, and said coldly: "As the saying goes, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. As soon as the news of the king's death comes out, people in Jinling City will inevitably panic. On the fifth day, even the entire Wu Kingdom will be shaken by three points, and at this time the Minister of State Supervision is not here, so we can only let someone come forward to clean up the mess, and then someone can justifiably mobilize troops, eradicate dissidents, and threaten the three princes!"

Now that Sun Quan is not in Jinling, he is the prince who succeeds the most smoothly among Sun Jian's sons. There are too many things he can do.

"Secondly, let the [-] cavalry of Brother Changshan and Changzheng rush to Jinling City within three days!"

Sun Yi is still a little worried about the southern army. The Chang family brothers were his confidantes who recovered in Youzhou. They had already led [-] cavalry from Youzhou to Wujun and waited for a long time in Wujun.

Once they returned to Jinling, they should cooperate with each other inside and outside, and Huang Gai's southern army would be defeated.

"No!" Wei Yue heard the words, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded calmly.

"By the way, there is one more thing!" Sun Yi grimaced, his eyes showed a gloomy coldness, and said: "You take someone, go and control Donghou Mansion and Jianghou Mansion for me!"

"Prince, don't you want to?"

Wei Yue shuddered all over, but he didn't expect Sun Yi to be so frenzied, and wanted to attack the family of the two princes.

"It's all about being prepared!" Sun Yi said lightly.The two elder brothers, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, put too much pressure on him. He had to hold a trump card in his hand before he had the courage to declare war on them.

——————————————————————————————

When the internal turmoil of Wu State was about to begin, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the western front line were already in chaos.The lord of a country and the general of the three armies actually died in battle at this moment.

This news could not be hidden for long, Sun Jian's first seven days.The news of the king's death in battle had spread throughout the entire Western Expeditionary Army. Before the decisive battle began, the King had already died in battle. It was as if a heavy blow had stunned the Western Expeditionary Army. All the soldiers and horses of the three armies were shocked. The hearts of the people are panicked, and the morale of the army is broken.

At this time, Liu Biao, king of Chu, suddenly appeared in Chibi, and the Chu army suddenly attacked.The morale was like a rainbow, and the counterattack was all-round. This made the Wu army unstable in the end and could only retreat continuously. The right army withdrew from Nanjun, and the main force of the central army was driven out of the Chibi waters. Although the left army captured Changsha, it detonated civil strife among the three armies. , can only divide the troops to quell the chaos, but all the troops are pressed in the south, unable to go north.

All of a sudden.The entire Western Expedition situation was already in jeopardy. Although the generals in the army suppressed the unrest of the soldiers, many generals couldn't bear it anymore, and they all wanted to retreat.

Xiling City.

For seven full days.Neither Sun Ce nor Sun Quan asked anything about the Western Expeditionary Army. They just knelt quietly in the mourning hall and stood guard for their father for seven days.

During this time, no one dared to disturb them, and no one dared to ask who Sun Jian passed on to in the end.The generals of the two factions confronted each other tacitly.

After the first seven days, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and others couldn't bear it anymore. After all, the current situation has reached an extremely dangerous moment for Xi Zheng.

In the end whether to continue to advance or retreat, we must come up with a journey.

Five years of the Warring States Period, January [-]th.

On this day, the main generals of the entire Western Expedition army camp gathered in the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion in Xiling City, sitting side by side.

Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Tai Shici, Zu Mao, Gao Shun, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Chen Gong of the main force, Huang Zhong and Xu Shu of the left army, Dong Xi, Chen Wu, Lu Meng, the three major generals who now control the right army... …

The generals of the two marquis' mansions faced each other, but Sun Ce was seriously injured and had no backbone, so he couldn't confront the generals of the Donghou mansion at all.

At the top of the hall, sitting cross-legged at the head is Sun Quan. He is wearing a plain robe, with a white scarf tied around his shoulders, and his face is cold. Standing beside him is a peerless King Kong Lu Bu.

The ferocity of this number one military general in the world, even the powerful generals below who have cultivated their qi, dare not face it directly.

Now that Sun Ce has not recovered from his serious injury, it is difficult to even get out of bed. With a strong attitude, Sun Quan has taken over the control of the entire Western Expedition Army with full authority. With the support of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and others, the others are helpless.

Sun Quan kept silent, but looked at the generals with gloomy eyes. The decisive battle had not yet started, and now the king was shot by Guan Yu right under their noses. No matter who was responsible, all the generals bowed their heads, feeling a little ashamed .

In the silent lobby, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.

"Master Hou, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day!"

Pang Tong pondered for a while, and stood up first, and cupped his hands to Sun Quan, saying: "Now that the king has passed away, the morale of the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army is not there, and the state of Wu is bound to be in chaos. I implore the Marquis to stop the Western Expedition, hold on to the territory, and return to Jinling." , to preside over the overall situation of Wu State!"

He was Sun Quan's confidant, and he was born in the East Marquis Mansion, so he had to plan carefully for Sun Quan. It was not right for Sun Quan to appear on the front line at this time. If he didn't return to Jinling, he would miss his chance to ascend the throne.

Taking advantage of Sun Ce's serious injury and the fact that Jianghou's reputation in the army had sunk to the bottom, Sun Quan wanted to ascend the throne with the help of hundreds of thousands of troops, so it shouldn't be too easy.

"The last general begs Lord Hou to retreat and return to Jinling to preside over the overall situation!"

The generals of Sun Quan's line stood up one after another, begging.

Although they, as military generals, wanted to fight this national battle to the end and take down Chu State in one fell swoop, but now Wu State has no leader, dragons have no leader, and they don't even have a backbone, so they are bound to fall into civil strife.

At that time, it will definitely lead to the collapse of the soldiers in the army. They may not be able to suppress the Lord. This battle can no longer be fought. Whether it is public or private, they must put Sun Quan on the throne. (To be continued.)

[Chapter 531 of the main text, the mourning soldiers must win]

In Xiling City, in the lobby lined with numerous generals, the atmosphere became tense.

Whether Sun Quan retreats will determine the position of King Wu's throne.

Today's Sun Quan controls hundreds of thousands of troops. If he takes advantage of the general trend and puts Sun Ce under house arrest and returns to Jinling with this force, he will be the next King of Wu.

"Zhou Yu, what do you think?" Sun Quan's hard face didn't move at all when he heard Pang Tong's request. He just raised his head, glanced at Zhou Yu, and then asked calmly.

Since Sun Jian's death, Sun Quan's handsome and handsome face has become like a zombie's face, unchanged, and no one can see his emotions.

All they could feel was his pair of amber eyes, which seemed to be forever covered with a layer of ice.

At this time, he suddenly opened his mouth to ask Zhou Yu, somewhat unexpectedly, but his faint voice made Zhou Yu feel palpitated.

"Alas!" Zhou Yu raised his head, glanced at Sun Quan, and sighed softly, feeling a sigh in his heart.

The brothers of the Sun family are all young heros, and he had thought in the past that one day Sun Quan might step on Sun Ce to ascend the throne, but he knew that even if Sun Quan ascended the throne, with his character, he would not kill them all.

It's just that he never thought about the current situation. The last thing he expected was that Sun Jian's death in battle would cause such a big reaction to the gentle and gentle Sun Quan, and at the same time, it also caused Sun Quan to have a mortal hatred for Sun Ce.

This hatred will destroy the brotherhood in Sun Quan's heart.

At this moment, Sun Quan has already controlled hundreds of thousands of troops on the Western Expedition, and the influence Sun Quan has accumulated over the years has also exploded at this moment. Now that people are panicking and Sun Ce is seriously injured, he stands up. It is only natural that no one can stop him. Even Sun Ce's generals can't shake Sun Quan's control.

He no longer expects Sun Ce to ascend the throne under his nose, but only hopes that he can let Sun Ce survive.

"Lord Hou. Now Guiyang, Changsha, Jiangxia, and half of the country of Chu are under our control. The Western Expedition can be regarded as a result!"

Zhou Yu stood up, bowed to Sun Quan, and said flatly, "I agree with the withdrawal!"

"Gongjin!" Tai Shici's eyes widened, and at this moment he agreed to their retreat.Isn't it tantamount to giving up Sun Ce's chance to ascend the throne?

In his mind, at this time, he should delay the time even more. As long as Sun Ce recovers, he will still be the little overlord of Jiangdong. In the army, his influence will be the greatest.

"Ziyi, we can't think about ourselves. At this moment in the state of Wu, the dragons have no leader, and the Western Expedition will be defeated. Retreating is the best choice!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

The Western Expedition is not considered a failure, at least the land of the three counties that has been captured now, even if the troops retreat, it is impossible to spit out the swallowed land of the three counties. Even if the state of Wu is chaotic, it can still defend its territory.

Since the state of Chu cannot be swallowed in one breath, then consolidate the territory that has already been won, first free up hands to suppress the internal turmoil in Wu, and put down the turmoil caused by the death of the king in Wu.

Zhou Yu is indeed Sun Ce's confidant and brother.But he also watched the state of Wu grow to this point day by day, so no matter whether Sun Ce ascended the throne or Sun Quan ascended the throne, he did not want a prosperous state of Wu to split because of this.

at this time.The most important thing is that the new king ascends the throne and stabilizes the domestic situation.
